Fairfield Clothing Exchange at Fairfield Primary School Gym!

Join The Clothing Exchange & Village Greening for the Inaugural Fairfield Clothing Exchange:

Date: Sunday, October 27th
Time: 2:30 PM
Location: Fairfield Primary School Gym

We’ll be preserving again on Tuesday 17 September from 1-3pm. Come along and help us cook up a storm!

Last month we sold out of winter fruit chutney and only have 2 jars of zucchini pickles left - along with some marmalade and preserved lemon. This month we will be making tomato 🍅 relish or chutney, finishing off the lemons and hopefully the Indian lime pickles we made previously will be ready to finish off too.

There are a group of lovely locals who come along for preserves to help out with our fundraising and make some local friends in our low key environment.

And it is not all hard work! Sit down for a coffee or tea along the way and have a chat. Anyone is most welcome to join in. Just let us know to expect you if you can.

We had a lovely time on Thursday morning making citrus vinegar … and we well and truly are getting through all the donated lemons 🍋 now. It has been great to think about all the ways we could use them.

Thanks everyone who came along.

There seems to be a real Interest in our community for low key sustainable living focused workshops which is great! We’re always looking to run new interesting things that people are keen to join in.

So … please don’t hesitate let us know if you have other ideas for workshops like this. And we’ll schedule them in if we can.

Coming up on Tuesday 17th September.

We are going to see Touch at 6pm at Westgarth Cinema.

Here is the link to watch the trailer if you are keen to come along.

If you are interested in joining us just let us know in the office so we can expect you at the cinema.

Support your local Alphington Football Club and enjoy a family friendly outing.
